And for good reason.
Here's the thing: I do not have the time to commit to drawing a comic full time anymore. I haven't for a long time. Thankfully, I have a good friend and INCREDIBLY talented artist, Ian Samson (tran4of3.deviantart.com/), who has stepped in to be the artist on The Wotch and do things that I never could. He's awesome like that.
Here's why I'm frustrated at myself, though: I can't seem to get myself to draw even with the time that I DO have. It wouldn't be much, no, but it would be something. And the worst part of it is I have friends, including Ian, happily offering to draw together, to encourage each other, etc. And that is awesome! Yet I can't seem to get over this creative/motivation gap. It's entirely my own fault.
Even as I write this, you'd think that the solution would just be, "Well, just...do it!" But it's never that simple when the time actually comes. I don't get why this is so difficult.
Anyway, just had to express that.

An update, sort of
Well. It's been quite a while, hasn't it? That Surface Pro 3 didn't quite turn out to be the drawing tablet I had hoped (though it has been useful in other ways, but I digress).
Drawing. It's something I used to do. It's something I used to enjoy. I'm not sure when that latter part changed, but, at some point, it was like I just started hating EVERYTHING I did. Which lead me to stop seeking out time to do it. Which lead to.......well, this.
It's bad. And it hasn't really gotten better. I'm not going to pretend to make some New Year's resolution to "Draw every day in 2019" or something because I know I'll immediately fail that. But...at the
Just ordered a Surface Pro 3
Well, I took the plunge late last night and ordered a Surface Pro 3, a tablet rated very highly for drawing. I'm really hoping that it helps me get back into the habit. The trick will be that it is a transition to digital drawing, something I still only have limited experience with. And that's entirely on me; some very nice people have lent me drawing tablets over the years, but I've always had a bad time with the disconnect between looking at a screen and not the pen. However, with a tablet like this, that problem should be gone.
I'm excited! I am also a bit nervous, because I know the "buy something expensive and you will SURELY use i
It's been ridiculously too long...
...and will be a little longer. But I am hoping to get back into drawing more regularly soon. This is probably the WORST time to get such inspiration, as I'm about to go on a trip for the holidays soon, but still, it's something. It's time to clean off the drawing desk, move it into a more prominent place, and get some pencils to paper again.
Not only that, but hopefully some Wotch scripting can happen as well. The storyline I've been working on has just NOT been coming together. Part of me wants to table it; part of me wants to push through and get it focused. This isn't the first time this has happened,
November is Friggin'-Draw-Already Month!
Hey, everyone. Hope you have been enjoying the Wotch updates!
I have really not drawn in a while, though. I want to change that this month. So I'm going to do my best to draw lots of pictures. The subject matter will vary, the quality will vary, but I'm going to do my best to get back in the swing of things and have some fun while doing it!
Have a nice day!

its hard to draw again after its been awhile, that first step is the hardest though, once you've done something it gets progressively easier.
